SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
You have purchased a quality product that is designed for high performance
and long service life. If correct use, safety and maintenance procedures are
observed this machine will last for many years.
Always adhere to the processes and safety
warnings, which are stated in the instruction
manual.
GENERAL OPERATING HAZARDS
Always ensure all users are physically able and
competent to handle the size, weight and power
of the tools and have received appropriate
training to perform the task.
Always avoid accidental starting of the tool by
disconnecting it before replacing accessories or
repairing.
Always be aware of the tool rundown time.
Never allow routine to lead to mistakes.
Never operate if any parts are missing or
damaged.
Never allow untrained persons to operate the
tool.
WORKPLACE HAZARDS
Always ensure your working area is clean and
well lit.
When working at height make sure that the tool
is safely secured and be aware of objects falling
below. Make sure that no persons are working
directly below the working area.
Do not operate in explosive atmosphere, for
instance extreme dust, gases and liquids.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating the tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
 Never run the tool in areas exposed to water or
in damp conditions.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Always wear approved eye protection during
operation. Use safety glasses or goggles which
conform to BSEN136 or CE equivalent that
provide protection from the front and side. The
operator of the power tool is responsible for
following accepted eye, face, respiratory, hearing
and body protection.
Always ensure that all long hair and loose clothing,
ties, scarves, jewellery, etc., are secured or
removed.
Always consult a doctor if numbness, tingling,
pain or whitening of the skin occurs. Repetitive
work motions, awkward positions and exposure
to vibration can cause “Repetitive Strain
Injuries”.
When operating the tool stay alert and use
common sense, especially when it comes to
working at height. Be aware of what’s below you.
Do not overreach. Keep a proper balance and
footing at all times.
Do not use the tool if under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or medication.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always ensure all accessories are rated to the
“Free” speed of the air tool and intact before
fitting or using.
Always use air tool attachments that are in good
condition and are designed to be used with the
tool.
Always be aware of the risk of crushing between
the tool and the workpiece due to sudden
movement or reaction forces.
Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air
pressure and disconnect tools from air supply
when not in use, before changing accessories or
when making repairs.
Never apply additional or over excessive force to
the air tool.

1) Before connecting, ensure the dust cap is removed (Fig A).
2) Connect tools to the air line using pipe, hose and tting sizes listed in
the specications.
3) Supply tools with 6.2bar (90psi) of clean, dry air. A higher pressure
and unclean air will shorten the tool life because of faster wear and
may
create a hazardous condition.
REQUIREMENTS FOR QUICK ACTING COUPLINGS CONNECTED
TO AIR TOOLS:
A whip hose of minimum length 500mm between the tool and the
coupling is required in order to comply with Health and Safety
Executive Guide HS(G) 39, BS4575:2, ISO 4414 and ISO 6150.
This will also reduce the strain applied by the weight of the air hose on
the end of the air tool.

OPERATION
WARNING! BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THIS PRODUCT, MAKE SURE
YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Always use the correct size of impact socket that matches the size of the fastener.
Before using the Speed Ratchet, during use or installing impact sockets, inspect the impact sockets
for cracks or excessive ware.
Only use impact sockets which are specifically designed and hardened for use with a Speed Ratchet.
Impact sockets are generally black in colour rather than reflective chrome.
Do not use any additional force upon the Speed Ratchet in order to remove a fasteners.
Be careful not to over tighten fasteners. Speed Ratchets are not torque wrenches and are not
designed or capable of installing fasteners to a specified torque. For fasteners requiring a specific
torque, use a hand torque wrench.
ATTACHING OR REMOVING SOCKETS
1. Align the hole on the side of the impact socket with the retaining
ball on the side of the square drive head (See fig. 3). This will ensure
that the impact socket will not slip off when it is pulled away
from the nut/bolt.
2. Press the impact socket firmly on to the drive head until you feel
the retaining ball locate in the hole of the impact socket.
3. To remove, simply pull the impact socket off.
OPERATION
Do not drop the Speed Ratchet or apply excessive hand force as this may
break the ratchet head.
1. Carry out daily inspection and lubrication of the tool.
2. Remove the plastic dust cap using a pair of pliers (See fig. 4).
3. Connect the Speed Ratchet to the air supply using a whip hose.
Due to the rotating air inlet feature, a 17mm spanner will be required
to hold the inlet while securing the whip hose.
4. Rotate the selector anti-clockwise to select forward or clockwise for reverse
operations (See fig. 5).
5. Rotate the exhaust port (See fig. 6) so that the air is directed away from
yourself and ensure it does not agitate any dust in close proximity.
6. Hold the Speed Ratchet firmly with both hands (See fig. 7).
7. Hold the impact socket over the fastener and
squeeze the trigger to operate the Speed Ratchet
(See fig. 8). Release the trigger to stop the Speed
Ratchet.
8. The amount the throttle lever is squeezed, will
determine the speed of the tool.
Do not allow the Speed Ratchet to free run
for an extended period of time as this will
shorten the tool’s life.
9. Turn the speed regulator knob to select a High
or Low pressure (See fig. 9). The higher the
pressure, the higher the torque output.

MAINTENANCE
1. Disconnect wrench from air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing
maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only.
Non-authorized parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
2. Lubricate the air wrench daily with a few drops of machine oil dripped into the air inlet
to prolong its life.
3. Clean the wrench after use. Do not use worn, or damaged sockets.
4. Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
a) Excessive drain on the air line. Moisture or restriction in the air pipe.
Incorrect size or type of hose connectors. To remedy check the air supply and follow instructions in
chapter 2.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the wrench may also reduce performance. If your model has an air
strainer (located in the area of the air inlet), remove the strainer and clean it.
Flush the wrench out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No 10 oil and parafn.
Allow to dry before use.
LUBRICATION
Air tools require lubrication throughout the life of the tool as moisture in
the compressed air will rust the air motor and the correct lubrication is
vital for the maximum performance of the air tool. Failure to lubricate the
tool at the air inlet will void your warranty.
Either use an air line lubricator with air tool oil adjusted to two drops per
minute, or if an air line lubricator cannot be used, add one teaspoon of air
motor oil to the inlet (Fig. F) or into the hose at the nearest connection to
the air supply once a day and then run the tool.
ISO Grade VG22 oil is recommended. A rust inhibitive oil is acceptable
for air tools.
Any excess oil in the motor is expelled immediately from the exhaust port.
Always direct the exhaust port away from people or objects (Fig. G).
Lubricate the tool holder regularly with a light machine oil. (Fig. H).
Do not lubricate the tool with ammable or volatile liquids such as parafn (kerosene), diesel or jet fuel.
